Where little boats chug, seagulls screech and the wind breezes through the ropes, Rügen’s maritime charm is biggest. Traditional harbour pubs, the smell of freshly smoked fish and white sails on the horizon tempt on quaysides, on piers and on jetties. Whoever engages in water sports – sailing, surfing, fishing – loves the diversity of areas, marinas and spots along the 600-kilometre-long coast and savours water, wind and waves.
